"Moonlight?" you might think, taking a look at slashdot's nice search function and see that there are two articles from 2000 claiming that it's dead. It's alive again and this release was made to show this. We hope to attract both users and developers with this. Take a look at the Release Announcement for the Mailinglist, our development site and the press releases in english, german, french, italian and spanish."

    3D modelers are nice to play with but any serious artist will tell you that the only way to get a photo-realistic rendering is to get a human artist to draw it by hand. Simple graph theory shows that handling all the data involved, edges, vertii, colors, etc is an O(2^n) task. Whereas a human can intuitively grasp the essential elements and pare the decision tree such that a scene can be drawn with minimal data.

    Well then please oh please do NOT move to Linux. We like our choice.. stick to what's made for you.

    Hah. I find this amusing simply because I've been using Unix based OS's even before you were still in liquid state.

    Moron.
